I've already commented on the population issue.
I see you persist with the argument that disruptuion at Lime Street can be ignored, because of South Parkway. By the same token, the disruption ay Waterloo can't have meant very much, because Clapham Junction remained open.
I haven't 'dismissed' Driver M. I (and a number of others) pointed out that his argument that Liverpool has benefitted from the Ordsall Chord is unconvincing because it depends on a series of further enhancements which a. are not currently being made b. may not benefit Liverpool if and when they are made. He didn't like someone disagreeing with him and took a huff.
He didn't actually address the issue of why there is such an inadequate service to Lime Street during the works, so I dln't.know why you're using my 'dismissal' of him as a reason to avoid answering this question. Your own previous explanations for the dearth of service have, I have to say, not been very persuasive
OK I agree its an anti Liverpool consipiracy! The Tories have decided to hurt Liverpool by signing off Network Rail rebuilding Lime Street to increase capacity, involving a 3 week blockade followed by an 8 week blockade the following year... Of course the work is inconvenient, but it is of a reasonable duration for the quantity and complexity of the work involved.
